Ingredients
- 1 turkey carcass
- 2 tsp poultry seasoning
- 2 tsp season salt
- 2-3 bay leaves optional
- 10 cups water approximate
Instructions
- Pick all the meat off the bones and store it for later recipes.
- Get a large stock pot or crock pot.
- I personally throw away any leftover skin, since I'm trying to cut down on fat. You can include it if you want.
- Put the whole turkey carcass in the pot and cover it with water.
- Add 2 tsp poultry seasoning. (No poultry seasoning? Add 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp ground sage, 1/2 tsp thyme, and a shake of black pepper)
- Add 2 tsp salt.
- Cover the whole thing with water and bring to a boil. The turkey will release some juices so don't fill the pot clear full.
- Reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 1 -12 hours. (Really. All night. 12 hours is good. I simmer mine in the crock pot overnight.)
